TO ALLWHOM Il MAYCONCERN:

Be it known that I, RUSSEL FRISBIE, of Cromwell, county of Middlesex, end State of Connecticut, have invented certain new and nsefnlllmprovement in Toy-Gun; and to enable others skilled to make and use the same, I will proceed to deseribe,lhy`referring to the drawing, in which the seme letters-indicate like parts in each of the figures.

The nature of this invention will be understood from the specification and drawing. j v

The handle A is made in one piece of metal, as shown back of the point or depression a, which is clearly shownin the drawings. The front or barrel portion of this gun is 'made in two halves, one hnlf of which is made in the sume piece of metal with the handle A. This part or barrel portion is provided with n. hub, e, upon which the trigger B is mounted. It is also provided. with o. hub, cl, near the front end, and hub d near toe boel: end, which (the hub d) forms the breech of the barrel, C, and also for :linut to receive fastening-screws, by means of which the two parts and all theniechanism are held in their proper working position inside of the barrel and spring-case d". Directly over this barrel C is provided :L nipple, e, or cup e', for holding fulminete preparation, in the form of e cap or vegetable dislgto be exploded by percussion. Each half of the cased has a, depres. sion, which serves for bearings for theclotehdiub D.

E is a. spring. The peeuliarity of this spring consists in its mode of construction, relatively to the' mode of securing it in its place, and its action upon the hammer or actuating-rod F, the shape oi which is clearly shown in the drawings. The prong L of. this spring rests against the shoulder of the spring-case, while the prong z" takes its bearing in the slit of the clutch-hub D. (lne end of this clutch-hub D is provided with n. slit, H, and dog I. The office oi' this slit His to receive the prong z" of the spring E. The dog I is to hold the spring in its proper place, and from undue friction upon the actuating-rod F. Each end of this clutch-hub takes bearing in the depressions formed in the spring-ense c J is :t p'ehble er torpedo-receptacle secured to the outer end of the arm F. This rod F 'is provided with a nipple, e, or cup e', the oitice of which is to receive, or to explode, fulminete preparation, iii `the form et' oeps or vegetable disks, 'oy means of the combined action of the spring E and erm F, placed near the outer end ot' the barrel C, or in or upon the nipple e or cup e.

The upper end L oi' the trigger B is mede slightly wedging or spiralling, so that when the arm or rod F is pressed beck into the notch-n, by simply pulling` snidtrigger in the usuel wey, seid Wedge or spiral formation L will disengage the rod F from the notch n, and allow the receptacle J', nipple e, or cup e' to nieve rapidly forward by the accelerating force of the spring E. P is o. striking-pad, the fece of which is formed slightly diverging from n straight line from the centre of the hub D, the object of which formation is to onse eil" the 'percussion ofthe rod. F es it strikes against thediverging face of the pod P.

In describing this my invention, I have endeavored to show, at the seme time, the nature und advantage thereof, so :is to enable others skilled to malte ond usc therefrom.

I elniin the spring E, with the clutch-huh D, rod F, pebble-socket J, trigger B., substantially as and for the purpose described. p
